I'm glad that MY wife is not so demanding. I would hate it if she forced me to buy a new Z06! As it is she made me keep my 2008 JSB roadster when we bought the 2015 DSOM coupe. We are going to Spring Mountain in August. I wonder if she will make me get a matching DSOM Z06???

Hope to see other forum members there.

Looks cool, but would be a lot nicer if they did the discount for 2 so your S.O. could do it without breaking the bank. Also, what are the odds of damaging a car? Looks expensive if you do, even if you pay the extra $200 for less liability.

Chances of damaging the car is slim to none. You are on the track in a controlled situation being behind the instructor's Camaro. They only allow you to go as fast as you can up to your ability. Most if not all of us in our class did not take out the insurance.

Unless you're just a terrible driver you can skip that.
